Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Mix in melted butter until well combined.
Add sugar and mix until slightly lighter in color.
Incorporate eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
